ALIF LAM MIM.

اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ یُّتْرَكُوْۤا اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا وَ هُمْ لَا یُفْتَنُوْنَ۝۲

Do men think they will get away by saying: "We believe," and will not be tried?

وَ لَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَیَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَ لَیَعْلَمَنَّ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ۝۳

We had tried those who were before them so that God knew who spoke the truth, and who were liars.

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنْ یَّسْبِقُوْنَا ؕ سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ۝۴

Do those who do evil think that they will get the better of Us? How bad is the judgement that they make!

مَنْ كَانَ یَرْجُوْا لِقَآءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍ ؕ وَ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ۝۵

He who hopes to meet God (should know) that God´s appointed time will surely come. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

وَ مَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا یُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِیٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۝۶

He who strives does so for himself. Verily God is independent of the creatures of the world.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَ لَنَجْزِیَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۷

We shall pardon the sinful deeds of those who believe and do the right, and give them a reward better than their deeds.

وَ وَصَّیْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَیْهِ حُسْنًا ؕ وَ اِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِیْ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ؕ اِلَیَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۸

We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents; but if they try to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. You have to come back to Us, when I will tell you what you used to do.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِی الصّٰلِحِیْنَ۝۹

We shall admit those who believe and do the right among the righteous.

وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّقُوْلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَاۤ اُوْذِیَ فِی اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ لَىِٕنْ جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ؕ اَوَ لَیْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۝۱۰

There are among men those who say: "We believe in God;" yet if they happen to suffer in the cause of God they take oppression by men as punishment from God. And if help comes to them from your Lord, they say: "We were with you." Does not God know what is hidden in the hearts of men?
